full recording is in the Vault, as all previous news issues for your convenience. let's start with the good, shall we? being on Skool really helps make admin/accounting part easy. Skool folks reminded us, and it's totally true. being a Merchant of Record, they are taking a huge burden off your shoulders. you can research what "MoR" means - here is Stripe's version of it. either way, it helps. and the bigger you grow, the bigger is the benefit. more good things: "free trial locked content" and "freemium plans on sign-up" are coming up. two thumbs up. great features - hopefully, will help facilitate conversions from free to paid. now, the bad 😈 kinda tired of hearing about those who are making it. would be great to learn the full picture - charts, graphs, numbers. or maybe look at someone who is struggling and how they can do better. "Skool of the week" and all other outliers are not gonna help me, you, and the other block to improve. actually, i & some of my friends on Skool are seeing the trend of ppl turning their community PAID because of the Skool news. and the only thing they are gonna get is DISAPPOINTMENT. cause unless you have a massive audience outside Skool, starting a paid community is not gonna work. well, now the ugly 👿 new Skool games. it's gonna be an ongoing MRR competition. that's it. they've introduced new level - ☘️ $3k/mo. good. but overall, they still focus on MRR as the one and only truth in business. okay. got it. and then, you can only get to the "exclusives" club if you get $100k+ MRR. let me ask you - what percentage of community owners are going to get $100k+ MRR? let me answer - very small percentage. probably less than 1%. so, the reality is - forget it. forget about Skool games. work toward your goal, your strategy, and your plan. everything else is just the noise. p.s. no doubt, my next goal is to hit $10k/m. but i do not expect it to be just MRR and/or just from one community. but now, more than ever, the 🚀 emoji is less attractive to me.

i check my community stats every single morning for the last 96 days. it's part of my routine. like coffee, cannot be skipped come war or family emergency. one of the numbers i watch closely? conversion rate. that's the percentage of people who land on your about page and actually join. the average on skool is around 18%. anything above that = you're doing something right. mine started strong. 22-33% for weeks. then it started slipping. 14%… 9%… 9%… 9%. not great when you're putting in work to drive traffic there. all that effort — posts, outreach, ads — and people land on your page and just… leave. so, today, i did something about it. i gave my about page a full facelift - rewrote the short description - updated the full about page description - recorded a VSL - added fresh reviews (thank you Review Domino) and i'm about to launch a new meta ads campaign to test if the updated page converts better your about page is your storefront. if it's not converting, nothing else matters. you can have the best content, the best community, the best energy… but if people bounce before they ever walk in? they'll never know. so, go and check it out, and tell me what you think. but more importantly, is it time for you to update your About page? 👇

every Wednesday, i watch Skool news and give you the golden nuggets. if you want to re-watch it, you can find it in the Vault. it's a big bada boom this week - introduction of the Skool Growth Boost function: - they have been teasing it for the last couple of weeks - you might have seen your community being advertised by Skool - this is it! it was free, now - time to pay for it 😜 simply put, if you choose to allow Skool to promote your community, it costs 30% commission. but the tricky part is, even if ppl come to your community from Skool discovery page, you still pay 30% commission. in the video, i show where to turn it ON and OFF. and i share my thoughts on this new feature. in summary, i think it comes from good intentions, but there are some flaws there. let's see how this unfolds what are your thoughts?

Here's what I realized recently, we are: - tired - overwhelmed - confused and demoralized By the amount of information out there! It can be really good. Well structured. Yet, there are crickets. Let's change that! Your Community Lead Magnet/Attraction Offer should be action-oriented. Here are 4 types of communities that will make people engage. 👇🏻 Once you watch the lesson, please share what format you pick for your community 👇🏻

If you joined this community, you’re not a consumer. You’re an action taker. Most people talk about building a community. You decided to build one. 👉🏻 So first things first: TAKE ACTION! STEP 1. Introduce yourself in the comments here: - Who you are - The outcome you want in 30 days - Your current stage (idea / validating / building / live) . PLS USE the poll or in the comment STEP 2. Do NOT Launch Yet (If You Haven’t) If you haven’t created your Skool community, pause. Action does not mean rushing. Start with Day 1 inside the Classroom and move in order. Clarity → Launch. STEP 3. Questions so far? Post them here or as a separate post in the Q&A category. Or in the relevant step. Public questions help everyone move faster. The rules are simple: - There are no stupid questions - The only stupid questions are those not asked No silent observers here. You joined because you want results. Let’s begin.
